Frequently Asked Questions

Go to www.handsacrosschi.com and enter your zip code to get an assigned location along the route. This is important so that we can spread people out evenly along the route, while keeping people closer to where they live.

If you are planning to attend with friends or family, only one person needs to use the website to get the location for all of you. Assigned locations will be fairly close to your zip code along the route.

Attendees are encouraged to go to a different spot than their assigned location if needed for any accessibility reasons.

There's nearby commercial and residential parking along the entire route. After you park, please walk to your assigned location and spread out about 500 feet in either direction, and always stand on sidewalks — don't block intersections, driveways, or entrances. Stand on the north or west side of the street, unless sidewalks are only on the south side. Use your judgement and adjust your location if necessary based on accessibility issues.

You and dozens of others will be assigned to a single spot. Everyone assigned to this spot should spread out along the sidewalk to cover about 500 feet in both directions. There should end up being a person roughly every 5-10 feet — not a cluster of people and then no one for several thousand feet. Please stand on or close to the sidewalk. There is sidewalk in every stretch of the route where people are assigned. Stand on the sidewalk on the north or west side of the street, unless sidewalks are only on the south side.

The protest is officially from 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM on Sunday, May 18, 2025.

We have not made arrangements with any businesses and do not have a list of all public restrooms along the route. Use your judgement, and if you use a business's restroom, it's good practice to also purchase something.

The sidewalk is public space and you are within your rights to be there. Do not block access to any commercial or residential property or entrances.
